What makes an autonomous AI agent safe?
The short answer: it runs reversible work on its own, and asks first before anything it can't undo. That single line — the reversible-vs-irreversible valve — is what separates an agent you can trust with real work from one you can't.
The two buckets every action falls into
Research, drafting, summarizing, writing documents, organizing, calculating. If it's a mistake, you just discard it.
Spending money, sending messages, deleting data, touching production, publishing, contacting people. One wrong move can't be taken back.
Why "human-in-the-loop on everything" isn't the answer either
Approving every step kills the point of an agent — you're back to doing the work. The trick is to gate only the irreversible steps. Reversible work runs free; the agent pauses just for the handful of actions that actually carry risk, and shows you its plan when it does.
How RadTask does it
RadTask classifies every task with a deterministic risk gate before it runs, then a real agent executes the reversible parts in a sandbox and holds the irreversible ones for your one-tap approval. The safety posture is published and machine-verifiable at /.well-known/agent-safety.json. Design goal: zero unsupervised destructive actions.
